Join Adapt (North East) and work with us across Northumberland

Adapt (North East) is a long-established charity working alongside disabled people and those facing disadvantage across Northumberland and the wider North East. We believe people are the experts in their own lives, and we work together with our communities, not for them, to tackle inequality, challenge barriers and build the conditions for everyone to live well and independently. We do this through services including social prescribing, mental health support, independent advocacy, community transport, our Adapt Community Hub and Healthwatch Northumberland. 

We are excited to be recruiting for three new roles that sit at the heart of our work. Whether you are passionate about welcoming people into a community space, championing the voices of health and social care service users, or keeping a vital statutory advocacy service running smoothly behind the scenes, we would love to hear from you.
